    The Neel Challenge

    A time I felt a sense of belonging at USMAPS was during the Neel Challenge during the final stages of CCBT. When my squad set out I had that butterflies feeling in my gut, I was unsure exactly what obstacles we had to face along the challenge. From the start with our climb of the ski hill, to final march from the cemetery to USMAPS, I felt a connection with what USMAPS stands for and felt like this was where I needed to be. The Neel Challenge gave me a small taste of what we were to expect in our career as Army officers, the MRT and shooting sections tested our calmness and ability to think on our feet which made them fun and put pressure on us to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible. The obstacle course tested our physical…

    Who would have thought to use Social Media along with Photography to be major tools of an awareness campaign? The image above is example of what is “Project Unbreakable”. This particular picture talks about epidemic Child Sexual Abuse. Project Unbreakable lies within a sub genre of awareness campaigns.

    Do you think that the way we grow up has a lasting effect on us? The things we go through and are surrounded by as children will shape our personality and how we deal with things? The underlying theme of these poems is a very deep and difficult subject to talk about, the breakage of a person and of a friendship. The way we deal with our past make us who we are, but how much can a person handle before they break? Stuart broke, Jackson was broken by Stuarts suicide attempt because he didn't know how to react to it, and these poems purpose an idea that we should handle suicide differently because, a suicide effects not only the person but the people around them, it breaks them.…

    Throughout the evolution of video games, there have been assumptions on how they benefit or denigrate culture through knowledge and violence. In the essay “Dream machines,” Will Wright keys in on the point of video games and how they benefit the culture. He argues that video games are only viewed in a negative light by society due to the assumption by elders that “they’re violent, addictive, childish, and worthless” (Wright 211). By using opinionated evidence that is very biased and tech user friendly, Wright creates an unintentional barrier between him and his intended audience.…

    An Unquiet Mind Summary

    I chose to read An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness by Kay Redfield Jamison. Before taking this class, I only knew a few things about bipolar disorder. Most of what I had learned about bipolar had come from Google searches in wondering if I too suffered from the disorder because of it being prevalent within my family on my absent father’s side. What I learned from Google was that bipolar is a disorder that can cause people to have mood swings, there were two different types of bipolar, and that the drug lithium could be used to treat this disorder. Some of the things that I had learned from the textbook were the differences between bipolar I and II, the diagnostic criteria involved in bipolar disorder, and why bipolar occurs.…

    The Mind at Work, written by Mike Rose is a story about day-to-day jobs that people partake in for a living, his main purpose of this story was to make people aware of the need to take notice of forms of intelligence that have not been tested through IQ tests and bring various things together like how the brain and hand can not be separated, they work dynamically. In this essay, I will go over the key points that I thought Rose wanted his readers to understand also, what I disagree with and agree with and also how the hand and brain work together.

    In their work, The Extended Mind, Andy Clark and David Chalmers present the extended mind hypothesis to argue against the idea of the mind consisting solely of inputs and outputs. The hypothesis argues that the mind is not simply an internal thing, but rather that it can exist externally and be part of an individual’s environment. Clark and Chalmers argue for this this by presenting the examples of Otto, a man whose memories and knowledge lie in a notebook, and Inga someone who stores all the information in her mental states. I will argue that the extended mind hypothesis is unsuccessful because there is no clear line of what is actually known and what is only thought to be known. The extended mind hypothesis is the argument that…

    In Robots and Minds, William Lycan tries to show that it is feasible that robots can have the same kind of mind that humans do, under the condition that machines are able to have consciousness just like humans. He further expounds this theory by introducing AI, claiming that researchers have already designed machines that can do human-functioning activities (such as reading books, playing chess, etc.) Lycan concludes that all of these actions are considered to be intelligent behavior in human standards. However, Lycan perceives the word “intelligent” as too generalized, and goes to compose his own definition: where intelligence is the ability to provide responses and to be able to adapt to unexpected situations.…

In the movie i (saw/heard/became aware of) a few facts that were worth (seeing/hearing/becoming aware of).…
